Before the convention meets to se
lect our' standard-bearers for the ap
proaching campaign, allow a private
in; the fanKs to make a lew statements
and suggestions about the office of
State Auditor.
The people of Nor:h Carolina have
Tlriquently in the past selected men .
tof legislate for them whose mental
capacity did not equal that of Solo
mon, the wise; but they have always
exercised great care in selecting men
who were o handle their money, and
tc this fact as much as any other we
mjust Attribute the honorable name
we bear in the financial world.
jThejoffice of Auditor is one of the
mpbt. important connected with the
State f government. .Every dollar
that is; pa d into or paid out of the
State treasury is paid Upon his war
rant. ; He fettles with everybody who
ojves the State and everybody the
State wea. His duties are multi-
aftf4"oufJ aad exacting. He must un-
uciouuu iuB exact nnanciai situation
of the government and be familiar
With all laws appropriating money or
levying . taxes. Many of his duties
cjtn only be learned by long study
ajid experience, l'ut an inexperienced
njan'in this office, no matter how
honest he may be, he is apt to com
mit errors and make mistakes to the
detriment of the tax -payers.
Now the point I wish to make and
ibpres upon my fellow citizen is
this: that it is sometime best to let
$ell taioiujh alone; that our present
.uaircr, wen. w. tr: xtooerts, is a
gentleman of the highest character
and intelligence; that he has made
in A is no 7 making a model officer,
attentive lo his duties, scrupulously
correct and honest, and looking after
tjhe people's money as closely as if it
W8 his own.
I This man Roberts has a record that
ihould please every white man in the
Statei When the war began it found
trim, though a beardless boy, in the
Saddle as a private in the Second
North Carolina Cavalry. When it
glided it found him still in the saddle
but with the stars of a brigadier gen
era! 0n his collar, which were won by
the most intrepid and daring gal-jant.-y
on half hundred battlefields.
After the war was over he did not sit
down to bewail his fate or wait for
CONGRESS.

Mr. Wheeler, of Alabama, concluded

eloquent tribute to the g.vmdeur A,

Mr. Bland, of Missouri, referrin
to Mr. Burrows' speech, in whick that
gentleman spoke of theMills bill as
a bantling without acknowledged pa
rentage, criticised the gentlemen on
the other side for not having virility
and manhood enough to present a
bantling of any character. He bit
terly opposed the protection system
and denied that flf was the cause of
the progress of the country and . in
veighed against pools and trusts,
which he denounced as evils directly
traceable to high tariff.
Mr. Woodburn, of Nevada, contro
verted the claim of the Democrats
that their party was the friend of the
laboring man, and bitterly de
nounced the policy which he said
was outlined bv the Mills bill
of surrendering American mark
ets and American - labor to the
free traders of Great Britain. Turn-,

Mr. Woodburn saw. that it was an

his brave companions did all over the
South. And he stayed between the
ploio handles until the voice of the
people, recognizing his modesty
land worth, called him to the honora
ble knd responsible office he now
ifills. ; While the people should not
choose their public officers because
;they belong to this or that profession
or calling, and . while all good men
should deprecate any attempt to ar
ray class against class, or to put men
in office for any cause except fitness,
iyet the fact that Gen. Roberta is now
and Always has been a farmer, should
not be against him in the Democratic
party, nine-tenths of whose voting
strength is from men belonging to
that honorable and honored calling.
As a soldier Gen. Roberts- was a
success; as a farmer he was .and is a
success; as a public officer he is a
model kind and courteous to all peo
ple,: obliging and affable to those who
have business with him and exceed
ingly careful and pains-taking with all
matters which concern the people's
money. In the east where he is best
known he is a popular favorite and
will add much to the strength of the
Democratic ticket. In the interest of
the: Democratic party and honest gov
ernbant (for the two, as we all know,
are inseparable,) we should unite in
keeping this tried and faithful ser
vant in the office he fills so well, and

country. On the roll of membership
appeared the names of the Dukes
and Earls, Marquises and Lords,
Peers and Counts and Princes. He
held in his hand a list of the mem
bers the Cobden Club on the 1st of
Jan. 1888 and on the back of the
book of record was the motto of the
club "free trade,", "good will among
nations," and "God save the Queen."
He proceeded to read the list of
members and caused much amusent
by sandwiching the names of
Americas, members between those of
the dukes and earls. Among the
names of Americans which he, read
were .those- ol Senators Beck and
Vance, Secretaries Bayard and Endi
cot William R. Morrison and
Speaker Carlisle and in reply to ques
tions said: "There is not a Republi
can today in public life on the roll of
the Cobden Club. (Applause-) He
said the present British Chief Seer
tary ior Ireland, Mr. isanour, is a
member and he appealed to adopted
citizens of Irish birth not to assist
in perpetuating in power a party
whose leading members voted for
Cobden frtee trade. Cobden free
trade meanly that the parliamentary in
dependence of Ireland was eatirely
valueless. : Could they still cling to a
party exisiing on ivn empty duo at
tractive sound; that held out as a
shining example of its confidence,
of patriotism and liberality an ex-mem
ber of the: House who basely apolo
gized to the Minister at V ashing
ton for his contemp'iblo duplicity in
in'roducing a resolution of inquiry
as to the legality of the trial of an
American citizen condemned and exe
cuted by a British jury and a
British court? He referred to A. S.
Hewitt, the Democratic mayor of the
Democratic city of New York
A Mr. Woodburn concluded speak
ing v'r. Bryce, of New York, crossed
the main aisle and excitedly de
nounced as a misrepresentation Mr.
AVoodburn's allusions to A S. Hewitt.
Mr. Woodburn "I have said noth-
tog but what I can prove."
"I Bay it ia false," exclaimed Mr.
Bryce.
Several ; Republicans slated that
what Mr. Woodburn had said was a
matter of: record and a matter of
notoriety.' "
Mr. Brijimm, of Pennsylvania, who
was seated within a foot or two
of Mr. Bryce, suddenly plunged into
the controversy,' and, shaking his fin
ger in front of Mr. Bryce's face, said :
"Mr. Hewitt acknowledged it on the
floor of the House and apologized for
it. I offered personally to investigate
it. So when you say that this man
(referring to Mr. Woodburn) says an
untruth you say wbat is false."
In a moment the House was in a
state of great confusion and members
crowded around the two gentlemen,
who, facing one another, continued
an angry colloquy, which was, how
ever, not intelligible.
"If there is power in this House to
have order," cried Mr. Buchanan, of
New Jersey, "I demand order. Let
the gentlemen go out into the
lobby."
"Is this the Senate of the United.
States?" queried Mr. Hopkins, of
Ulinois, in an information-seeking
toile, which set the House
in a roar and which poured
oil on the troubled waters, for in &
few moments Messrs. Brvce and
Brumm were seated together ansi
talking amicably.
Mr. Byhum, of Indiana, said that
when the gentleman from Nevada
(Mr- Woodburn) was reading the list
of members of the Cobden Club he
had propounded to him a question as
to whetliei Uarheld, when he lived,
was not a member of the Cobden
Club, as weH as Murat Halstead. The
gentleman bad responded that no Re
publican living Was a member of that
club. 1
Mr. Buchanan interrupted to de
clare that Mr. Woodburn had been
incorrectly quoted. What lie did say
was that no prominent Republican
was a member ol the club.
1 Mr. Bynum said that he had a r
vised list of the members of the Cob
den Club showing that Murat Hal
stead had been admitted in 1880. It
showed the name of Hugh McCullom
,the former Republican Secretary of
the Treasury, .admitted in 1871; of
Stanly Matthews, admitted in 18 10,
a member of the United States Su
preme Court. Here were also the

Mr. McCwmick, of Pennsylvania

largely to a criticism of the lumber
sections of the bill.

clusion that reform- was necessary.
As an .indication of- -popular senti

spite the unpropitious aspect of the
weather, this morning, at an early
hour the crowd began "to assemble
upon Guilford Battle Ground and ere
the day closed probably ten thousand
people had traversed its historic soil.
Though the day has not won such a
place in' history as the one for which
it was celebrated, it will long be re
membered as the grandest celebra
tion in the history of Guilford
county.

and citizens.
The exercises were opened at the
erand stand by a very beautiful and
touching prayer by ltev. J. E. Mann
The band then played one of its"
sweetest selections. '
Chief Marshal Jno. A. Barringer, in
a very few words, introduced Hon
David Schenck, the historian of the
battle and the orator of the day.
Judce Schenck arose, amid the
cheers of the multitude, and, after ad
dressing the crowd, began.
The oration wasVwell received. It
showed that time, study and talent
had been given it, and when it ap
pears in print it will be one of the
most valuable contributions that has
been made to history for years. It is
a complete history of the Guilford
Court House Battle in detail, involv
ing nothing but historical and geo
crraohical facts.
After the oration Governor Scales
was introduced and made a few very
interesting remarks in which he as
cribed the credit of the conception
and arrangement of the celebration
to Judge Schenck.
The following were among the
prominent men upon the stand : Gov.

impossible for Captain Parrish to be

Many old war reHsnre exhibited

OUICK3U SCHEDUL1 AND .OTHER
MOVEMENTS THI OITT PABK.
Noticing a gang of laborers at wort
on the street railway near the north
ern end of Blount street, and having
heard a rumor of contemplated im
provement upon the part of the com
pany, our reporter yesterday hunted
up Ur. lurner, tne inaeiaiigaDie pres
ident, and persuaded him to unbosom
himself to the following effect :
"Yes, we have determined to quick
. . , 1
en the scaeduie, ana. as announced
today, we shall make a twenty-minutes
schedule, the cars leaving the
transfer switch on Morgan street near
the Club House every twenty nvnutes
during the day and evening, leaving,
of course, on the hours and at twenty
and forty minuses after.
To do this we shall keep only a
single lice on Fayetteville street, the
green, which wil run from the depot
to the terminus. The red cars will
ply between ta- end of Hillsboro
street, near St. Mary'?, and the trans
fer switch, making and receiving
transfers. Unless there shall be a
stormy day, or some unusual necessi
ty, the cars will not run nearer the
graded school than the corner cf
Cabarrus s reet, but that is only two
hundred and fifty yards distant.
The cars on Blount street will
, .... .1 -
pass eacu otner near tne corner 01
Pec street, three ears running on
the Green line.
'As to the Yellow line we cannot
spt ak definitely for the present, but
we fear that the heavy grades on Hal
ifax street will prevent us from regu
larly leaking a twenty minutes' sched
ule from the transfer switch to l eace
Institute and return, and to continue
that line may derange the entire sys-
teai. We have made every effort to
keep up this line, and if possible we
will, but we are afraid that we wul
be obliged to run the cars on Hargett
street only.
"But the park, Doctor V
"Well, about that it may be prema
ture to speak freely. I can only say
that gentlemen connected with the
management have contracted for the
property owned by Dr. iiclvee, north
west of Oakwood Cemetery, the love
liest shaded hillside, the most attrac
tive combination of trees and grass,
rocks and water in Raleigh township.
They propose to improve it as far as
they can, to erect a pavilion, place seats
about in it, construct a swimming
pool, bowling alley, merry-go round
aid make it as far aS they are able a
pleasant resort. It. will be espacially
suited for picnics, Sunday School
celebrations or other gatherings.
The street car line will be ex
tended from its present terminus on
Polk street to tho gate of the Park,
on JNorth .Boundary Btreet, at me
northwest corner of the cemetery,
running every twenty minutes."
"What is the name of the pars,
Dootor
'We have concluded to name it
Brookside Park," but will listen to
suggestions of a more appropriate
name. Suppose you and your read
ers help us. If the enterprise shall
be well patronized, a switch-back or
toboggan roller slide ana other
amusements will be added."

Shooting Sensation In Asheville.
Asheville Sun, th.
Quite a sensation was created on our
streets vesterday evening about 3
o'clock by tho report of a pistol.
Mr. E. D. Carter, a prominent
young lawyer of thia city was shot
in the left leg by Mrs. Clara Beaver.
The particulars, as far as we were
able to iiearn, are about as follows:
Several months ago it seems that
Mr. Carter had been employed in a
aw suit against Mrs. Samantha Wil
son, mother or Mrs. Deaver. un
several occasions, since the trial, Mrs.
Wilson has had many unkind things
to say to Mr. Carter, and yesterday
evening, while he was walking up
College street near Woodbury's sta
bles, he met Mrs. Wilson, who com
menced to abuse him in such a manner
that he could not stand it any longer,
and raised his hand and slapped her
to the ground. He was then arrested
and taken to the mayor's office, but
while waiting for the mayor to return
he walked down on Patton avenue,
and just after passing Summers' mar
ket, Mrs. Deaver, who was standing
near, deliberately and without a word
of warning, shot him from the rear,
tbe ball striking just above the knee
and inflicting a painful flesh wound.
Immediately Mr. Carter whirled " and
seized his assailant. By this time
Deputy Sheriff J. M. Worley came up
and arrested and disarmed her. She
was taken before Esquire Malone,
who bound her over in a bond of $200
for her appearance at the next term of
the Superior Court. Mr. Carter was
taken to hia room in tbe McLioud
building, where he received prompt
medical attention from Dr. H- B
Weaver, and there is no apprehension
that the wound will prove dangerous
